The Daily MOC Project [NOW THE RANDOM MOC THREAD]

I'm in the middle of two Lego phases: tan buildings, and stuff made with rare/less common colours. I currently have a tan chapel and an orange jalopy built, with a lime green jalopy in progress. Today I looked at my pile of medium blue, and I thought, why the fuck not?

So I built a mech.

I used every medium blue piece I have, except for a pair of legs that I would've used if I knew where they were, and my technic and Bionicle pieces. It doesn't have a name, and I can't be assed to think of one, so for now it's just called Blumek.

It was inspired by Cpt. Zipps' Al-Kind-Of walking tank.

Gun detached. Blumek can't actually wield it its hands, but this is too good of a pose to resist.

Custom glyph.

After I built the mech, I had these three plates left over, and I just had to make this. Yes, I know winged skulls are insanely overused, but

"Now what does that hand think it's doing in my picture?"

Apologies for the blurry/fucking terrible pics, my sister took her camera to Universe City. :C

I do plan to post pictures of the stuff I mentioned at the beginning, but that will have to wait for a bit.

C&C and all that jazz.

*ahrm*

Aoffan, the mek looks good. You certainly pulled the construction of the leg off a lot better than I could. Cheers.

Yeah, the mech is really nice. Is it baby blue or sand blue?

It's light blue, but it's apparently called medium blue, even though I've never seen a lighter blue in Lego.

And don't anyone be clever and say "white is a lighter blue".

White is a more racist blue.

That's an interesting color choice. I find black, baby blue, and gold to be a solid color scheme.

Huh, that sounds really cool. But like I said, I just like to build with my odder colours, and I usually save my more useful colours for more serious projects.

I still need to think of a way to use my turquoise pieces.

I'd love to experiment with teal, but sadly I have only 3 1x2 bricks and a single minifig arm in teal.

I'm interested in the fins and the headlight bricks.

again, again. Told you I would keep using this.

I've gone on a vehicle building spree. I'll show you 4 right now, but I still have 3 1/2 other ones.
